How many babies can a chimp have?

A chimpanzee typically gives birth to one baby at a time, although twins can occur on rare occasions. The gestation period for chimpanzees is about 230 to 240 days, roughly similar to that of humans. After birth, a mother usually cares for her infant for several years, during which time she may not have another baby. Overall, a female chimp may have several offspring over her lifetime, depending on factors such as health and environmental conditions.
